Paramount+ is raising prices on January 15, 2025

Paramount+ announced a price increase that takes effect on January 15, 2025. The exact amount depends on which plan you have. If you are a current subscriber, you will see the new price reflected in your next billing cycle on or after that date. New subscribers signing up on or after January 15 will be charged the new price from the start.

The price change affects all subscription tiers, including the ad-supported and ad-free options. Paramount+ has not announced plans to grandfather existing subscribers at their current rates, so everyone will move to the new pricing structure when their renewal date arrives.

Key Takeaways

  • The price increase takes effect on January 15, 2025, but only applies to your account when your next billing date arrives on or after that date.
  • Both ad-supported and ad-free plans are increasing in price, though the exact amounts vary by plan tier.
  • You can check your current plan and billing date by logging into your Paramount+ account under account settings or subscription details.
  • If you want to lock in the current price before the increase, you may be able to prepay for a longer subscription period before January 15, depending on your plan type.

How the January 15 date works for your account

Paramount+ does not charge everyone on the same day. Instead, the price increase applies to each account on its next renewal date on or after January 15. If your billing date is January 10, you will be charged the old price. If your billing date is January 20, you will be charged the new price.

To find your billing date, log into your Paramount+ account on a web browser or in the app. Go to your account settings or subscription details — the exact location varies slightly by device, but it is usually under "Account" or "Settings." Your next billing date and current plan will be listed there.

What the new prices are

Paramount+ has not publicly released a single price list showing all tiers and all regions. The company typically varies pricing by plan tier (ad-supported versus ad-free) and by region. Some subscribers may also have different rates based on how they signed up — for example, through a carrier bundle, a third-party platform, or directly from Paramount+.

The most reliable way to see what you will be charged is to log into your account and check your subscription details. This will show your current plan and, once January 15 arrives, will display the new price before it is charged. You can also contact Paramount+ customer service through the app or website to ask about your specific plan's new price.

Prepaying before January 15 to avoid the increase

Some subscribers can prepay for multiple months or a full year before January 15 to lock in the current price. Whether this option is available depends on your plan type and how you signed up. Annual plans are more likely to offer this option than monthly plans.

To check if prepayment is an option for you, log into your account and look for an option to extend or renew your subscription early. If you see this option, you can usually select how many months or years you want to prepay. The charge will be processed when ready at the current price, and your renewal date will be pushed forward by that amount of time.

If you do not see a prepayment option in your account, contact Paramount+ support to ask whether it is available for your specific plan. Some account types do not allow early renewal.

Comparing Paramount+ to other streaming services

Paramount+ is one of several major streaming services that have raised prices in recent years. Other services like Netflix, Disney+, and Hulu have also increased their subscription costs. The amount and timing of increases vary by service and by plan tier.

If you are considering whether to keep your Paramount+ subscription, you might want to compare what content you actually watch on Paramount+ versus what is available on other services you already pay for. Some people find that bundling services — for example, Disney Bundle, which combines Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ — can be more cost-effective than paying for multiple subscriptions separately.

What to do if you want to cancel

If you decide you do not want to pay the new price, you can cancel your subscription at any time. Cancellation is usually when ready, and you will retain access to Paramount+ through the end of your current billing period. After that date, your account will no longer work.

To cancel, log into your account, go to subscription settings, and look for a "Cancel Subscription" or "Manage Subscription" option. Follow the prompts to confirm. Paramount+ may offer you a discount or a pause option before finalizing the cancellation — you can accept or decline these offers.

If you prepaid for multiple months or a year, cancellation policies vary. Some services issue refunds for unused time, while others do not. Check Paramount+'s refund policy or contact support before canceling a prepaid plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I be charged the new price on January 15 if that is not my billing date?

No. You will be charged the new price only when your next billing date falls on or after January 15. If your billing date is before January 15, you will be charged the old price on that date and will not see the increase until your following renewal.

Can I pause my subscription instead of canceling?

Some streaming services offer a pause feature that temporarily stops billing without canceling your account. Paramount+ has offered this in the past, but availability depends on your account type and region. Check your subscription settings or contact support to see if this option is available for you.

If I prepay for a year, will I be locked into the old price for the entire year?

Yes. If you prepay for a full year before January 15 at the current price, your subscription will not renew or increase until that year is up. At that point, you will be charged the then-current price for any renewal.

Does the price increase explore to family plans or shared accounts?

The increase applies to all account types, including family or shared plans. The exact new price for a family plan may differ from individual plan pricing. Log into your account to see what your specific plan will cost after January 15.

What if I signed up through a carrier or third-party platform?

If you subscribe to Paramount+ through a carrier bundle, a mobile plan, or a third-party platform, the price increase may be handled differently. Contact your carrier or the platform you use to subscribe, as they may explore the increase on a different schedule or in a different way than direct Paramount+ subscribers.
